Cs-Cart Payway Gateway Does Not Work

Multi-Vendor in detail Configuration: How-tos, questions, issues
#1

I have recently noticed that the PayWay payment gateway that comes with default CS-Cart has does not work correctly. Payments are processed however they are marked as Incomplete in the order status and an email notification of the order is not sent. A payment notification is sent though but not the CS-Cart order. All other payment types work ok.

I almost sent out a large order that hadn't been paid

CS-Cart: v4.11.3
PHP: 7.3.13
Dedicated server

I have tried to look into this and whilst CS-Cart supports php v7.2, PayWay doesn't so the PayWay payment processor that is included in CS-Cart will not work:

NOTE: Payway doesn't yet support the removal of mcrypt in php 7.2, so you'll need php 7.1 or lower for this to work.

I have other web sites on my server that have many features requiring php v7.2 and above so they would be held back because of CS-Cart.

This needs to be URGENTLY FIXED otherwise CS-Cart software is of no use to anyone that wants to use CS-CART with PayWay even though CS-CART says it will

You can specify what php version to use via the htaccess file.

#3

Thanks, what line would I put in the file

#4

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php71 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

#5

Usually php version can be also switched in the control panel of the server

#6

Thanks, I spoke to my server admin guy and he says that as I am running nginx I had to switch the whole server to a different php version. He switched it to v7.1 and the default CS-Cart PayWay module still doesn't work. I spoke to PayWay and they have advised that there is nothing different on their end so it is isolated to the fact the CS-Cart are including a payment gateway in their default version that doesn't work...unless someone else out there that is using PayWay can advise different.

I have been met with complete silence from CS-Cart in their bug tracker

#7

Look for errors in Admin logs related to PayWay.

#8

There isn't any error entries pointing to PayWay...in fact no errors are listed just order creates, status changes etc

#9

If http requests is enabled in log settings you should see requests and responses for Payway. That's where you would see the errors.
